These Are A Few Of Oprah's Favorite Things, So Run Right Out And Buy Them
Â
Yes, it's that time of year again, the time when the overhyped crap that the average person lived just fine without until Oprah pointed out how empty their lives are without them is put on display at the Oprah show. Once again, Oprah has unveiled her list of her Favorite Things to her sheep blind followers mindless masses viewing audience, who will now rush out to buy everything that has Oprah's magic touch on it, and guess what's at the top of her list?
Oprah's giving the most expensive gift in Oprah's Favorite Things history to her loyal viewers in Macon—LG HDTV Refrigerator LSC27991. It's a top-of-the-line, high-tech entertainment center with a LCD TV, DVD hookup, radio and slideshow option to display your favorite digital photos.With the press of a button, you can also access your five-day weather forecast and view more than 100 built-in recipes. LG has even volunteered to remove our lucky audience members' old fridges and either recycle them or give them to families in need. "LG has literally thought of everything!" Oprah says.
Okay, WOAH. Back up the truck.
This, my friends, is a refrigerator. A fridge. You keep your milk and eggs and lettuce and leftover Thanksgiving turkey in it. It keeps your pop cold. The freezer part keeps your ice cream from being runny. It's a REFRIGERATOR. Um...HELLO?
And do you know what this little electronic marvel will set you back? About $3800.
Who would pay almost $4000 USD for a fridge? I mean, SERIOUSLY. The advances in fridge technology are great...they have technology that keeps your lettuce crispier and your pop colder and your eggs more perfecter than ever before. And that's great...because that is what a FRIDGE is SUPPOSED to do.
But come on. Are we really so lazy that we can't walk into the other room to view the weather report on the TV? Do we have to have a video slideshow in the kitchen? Must we be entertained constantly with a DVD player, even when we're cooking? Oh wait...I forgot, Oprah doesn't cook, she has minions to do that for her. My bad.
And how nice that LG is removing the old fridges from the audience's homes and donating them to "families in need." Sorry, you aren't good enough for a $4000 fridge, but you can have this old icebox. And if you want to know the weather, you'll have to walk outside. Just a little something to remember...if it's cold, that means it's either wintertime or Hell froze over because Oprah did something without thinking of ratings and the bottom dollar first.
